Be Prepared!

I like to be prepared, and I thought I was. After hurricane Irma, I realized that while I had a generator, food, water, and tons of flashlights, I was missing a link in my communications arsenal. I'm a ham radio operator, so I could communicate with other Hams, but I couldn't communicate with my wife, at least not without carrying another radio. So, even though GMRS radios worked, I wanted something that would allow me to use our cell phones. Enter Gotenna.

I did my research and found several solutions, with Gotenna being the best IMHO. It's a small transmitter that connects to your phone via Bluetooth and let's you text and send your location to other Gotenna units. The more I thought about it, the more I could see using it on trips abroad, at concerts, sporting events...anywhere our cellular network fails. AND, the more units in your area the greater the range, because they mesh, just like Google home Wi-Fi or similar systems.

So check them out...BTW, I'm not affiliated or sponsored by them in any way, I just think these are a cool solution!

Cut the cord with bluetooth headphones!

OMG, who would've thought that something as simple as NEW headphones could cause such a feeling of joy! After years of having a bluetooth headset, I saw some LG HBS250 headphones on sale at www.woot.com for $9...I mean, come on...how can you NOT buy some new tech for that price?!?

So, I took the plunge, and I am here to report that these things are the BEST accessory I have bought for my cell phone, lap top, and anything else I can find that they work with. Seriously, these things rule. Why? Well, unlike your lame headset, these are STEREO headphones that can control your itunes and cell phone music program with a play/pause button, ff/rew button and volume keys all on the right earpiece...come on! Plus, you can also place a call because there is a built-in microphone...best thing ever. So, cut the cord!
